After being saved from a frightful underground pit by a massive FDNY rescue effort, all construction worker Joseph Barone wanted yesterday was to go home and enjoy a tall cold one.

“I’m going to have a beer and relax when I get home. It’s golf season, I want to get out on the golf course,” the Lyndhurst, NJ, man told The Post yesterday while recovering from his ordeal at Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Barone had gotten stuck chest- deep in quicksand-like slurry — which is a mix of mud and cement — while working on the Second Avenue subway project Tuesday at about 8:30 p.m.

He was saved thanks to the efforts of more than 150 firefighters, who labored for four grueling hours in the hole 75 feet below East 95th Street.

Barone suffered severe bruising and hypothermia.

“It was f–king cold,” he said. “As soon as I got in the mud, it sucked me in.”

The incident was one of the most elaborate FDNY rescues in recent memory and involved a special pump and firefighters digging through the slurry with their hands.
